i loved you then

June 14th, Tampa Beach
I remember you and me
Sunburnt shoulders getting closer
Barely breathing in that heat
Way back in a nosebleed row
Tipsy talking through the show
Sparks were flying
I was falling like confetti on the floor
Lookin' back, I shoulda known
Looked at you the whole ride home
Soft brown eyes and just friends
But I loved you then

And I know I never told you
But I said it in my head
There were sirens going off
And lights going red
And I know I never showed it
But I felt it in my chest
In a drink line, in the summertime
I loved you then
Yeah, I loved you then

New York City, August rain
Little closer, little brave
T-shirt sticking to my skin
It's like a movie in my brain

And you grabbed my hand at Central Station
Baby, all it would've taken
Was one more drink to admit
That I loved you then

And I know I never told you
But I said it in my head
There were sirens going off
And lights going red
And I know I never showed it
But I felt it in my chest
On a Tuesday, on an M train
I loved you then
Yeah, I loved you then

Whoa, whoa
Did you get the messages I sent?
Did you read between the lines?
Could you see it in my eyes?
Did you know me better than I did?
Did it eat you up alive?
Did you know the whole time?
